Director Teja no more a director whom producers used to avoid unceremoniously till before 'Nene Raju-Nene Mantri'. He was struggling to get projects. All the films he used to make with debutantes and unfamiliar faces bombed at the BO.

After the Rana Daggubati-Kajal Aggarwal film, Teja is in full form. Reportedly, Suresh Babu is keen on teaming up with him. Teja would be more than happy to work with the Daggubati producer as it was Babu's vision which really re-shaped 'NRNM'.

While this is there, Teja is also working on another script it seems. He wants to team up with Nandamuri Balakrishna. There is a long way to go before the project can even happen (speaking of the best case scenario), for Balayya's calendar is full for another year. After his 102nd movie with KS Ravikumar, the Nata Simha will team up with Puri Jagannadh, later which Boyapati Sreenu's film will be shot from June.
